~SCARLETT~

It was official; my sister had utterly lost her mind. That’s the only explanation for the tiny piece of cloth she chose for me to wear at the party tonight.

She must really hate me. Carter wasn’t the one she was taking revenge on at this point; it was me!

“You look stunning!” She compliments me while I look at her like she is my greatest enemy.

“I’m barely covering anything!” I exclaim as I stare at myself in the mirror. It’s a navy blue two-piece that showed too much skin. I was completely uncomfortable wearing this in front of hundreds of people I didn’t even like.

“I want a wrap to go with this,” I complain.

Clara sighs, “You’re not going to catch Carter’s attention with a wrap around your body.”

I didn’t care about that; I cared about hiding my body from all the creeps that would be staring at me for all of the wrong reasons!

“I don’t understand how you’re so okay with your ex-boyfriend eyeing your sister. This still feels so wrong to me. Are you sure we’re doing the right thing?” I ask her. “How can you be okay with Carter staring at me like I was his next victim? I am sure as hell not okay with it. How can you be?”

I thought by now she would change her mind about the entire thing, but I was being proven wrong. My sister seemed more determined than ever to get back at Carter by making him fall in love with me.

He destroyed all of the dreams I had for the both of us. I thought we would start a family together and even grow old together. Everything was destroyed in a few minutes.
